Factorise:
\left(x^{2}-2 x y+y^{2}\right)-z^{2}
Solution:
Algebraic identities are algebraic equations that are true regardless of the value of each variable. Additionally, they are employed in the factorization of polynomials. Here we will be using the following two identities :
a2-2ab+b2= (a-b)2 and
a2-b2= (a+b)(a-b)
\begin{array}{l} =(x-y)^{2}-z^{2} \\ \text { Using Identity: }(x-y)^{2}=x^{2}-2 x y+y^{2} \\ =\{(x-y)-z\}\{(x-y)+z\} \\ =(x-y-z)(x-y+z) \\ \text { Using Identity: } x^{2}-y^{2}=(x+y)(x-y) \end{array}
